Can  someone copy and paste it for me please as for some unknown reason i cant acess the Offal  :022: . Also for those driving Via Michelin  is much better than AA route finder,even gives you the rough cost in petrol and tolls. Plus it has lots of differant routes so will hopefully give the roadworks a wide berth.

yesem !!




I saw some messages on here about roadworks causing a problem for the semi in Hamburg. Anyone know where these were and how bad it was? I am driving across from the Hook of Holland.

    They are on the last stretch. Countaflow for about last 100/150 miles on the A1. Can't be avoided. Slow as 60 km limit for 10 mile stretches but not continuous. Very thin lanes make it difficult to overtake the lorries. Should be fine traffic was moving ok just leave plenty of time in case if accident. The traffic can also be bad during rush hour around Antwerp and eindhoven if you are going that way. We stayed overnight in Eindhoven to break journey. One more thing, new road layout at Eindhoven makes the sat nav go a bit crazy

    The roadworks are on the A1 are really bad frpom Bremen on. I got caught up in them around 4pm so aimm to get through before the mid pm rush. Enjoy the journey and allow 8 hours. PS if you have any tips on how to get 2 tickets, despite being a season ticket holder I missed out,

    Osnabruck to Hamburg is the roadworks.Duisburg Essen also can be slow. May be worth going Arnhem Enshede depending on journey times but dont really know if it is any quicker

    No promises but the guy that sits next to us in the r/side has 4 tickets and is waiting to here from 2 mates if they are going or not. If the tickets come up i will put you in touch with him.as he will only sell them to a fulham sth @ cost. He lives N London and works in Canary Wharf. Where do you live if they are available ? Should know within 48 hrs but again NO PROMISES

checking differant routes the only realistic way is still via the A1 Bremen, and i'm guessing well be there slap bang in the rush hour  :56: .

I drove the Eindhoven/Antwerp route to Hanover for the Wolfsberg game and back that way for the Hamburg game.  I drove to Hamburg along the A1 and via Bremmen.  There are slightly less roadworks the Hannover way, time is not much different, distance just a bit more the Hanover way, but less frustrating and that is the way we shall be driving for the final :0)

Going over to the Uncles after the game today. He was stationed in Germany and drives back there once a year for reunions. So he wants to get out all his maps and help me plan my route.
Might be useful if we can get the mods to dedicate a thread at the top of the page for the drivers. If we all use roughly the same route might be helpful in case of the odd breakdown or accident (God forbid)  :045:

Top idea Vic.Were probably going to set off about 11pm Monday and gedt a boat or through the tunnel about 2am. But seriously Via Michelin is the best route finder.

I'll be your wingman Spence. Should we all be taking towels to put on our seats?

We might have to take a few buckets. Me and Rufus have notoriusly bad bladders, on a Jolly boys outing to Margate we made the coach pull over about six times, the first after about 15 minutes. And i hope the Hotel has plastic sheets 3 of the 5 are bed wetters (not me, i just follow through now and then). Apparantly if you miss your booked tunnel time they really hammer you for it, so leave a fair bit of time especiaklly coming back.

Now I am jealous. If I had more time, I should have just flown into London and joined the crew. This has the potential of a road trip of a life time. Unfortunately I will be arriving promptly courtesy of Lufthansa (The Airline Formerly Known as Luftwaffe) and properly jetlagged on top.

Hopefully those blue Fulham shirts will wake me up as it is the biggest cack I have seen in a million years.

There is some serious roadwork going on the Autobahn-Eins just outside of Bremen. It's important that you guys learn the German word for detour
